Chapter 859: Pursuit
Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh
The gods fired their godly power at Kong Bai. However, everything suddenly vanished. Only that question was left lingering in the air: “Who’s the most handsome man?” Curse it! The gods were all horrified. After all, this group was comprised of one major god and nine journeyman gods. Their combined strength was unimaginable. However, even with their strength, their combined attack had been erased by this single seemingly stupid question from Kong Bai?
Why? This fellow… Fear filled their eyes.
“Answer me. Who’s the most handsome man?” As he asked this question, a stiff smile took shape on Kong Bai’s face. He was seemingly trying to make himself look kinder, yet when the creases on his face piled together due to the forced smile, he instead looked even scarier.
One of the gods had an ominous feeling and wanted to retreat. “Go!”
Kong Bai’s expression became sinister. “Wrong answer.”
Bang!
A beam of light shot out of his eyes, instantly disintegrating that god.
The other gods: “???”
What in the world was this? Titanium beams? Apart from some unique existences with powerful eyes, someone killing someone else with their eyes was extremely rare. How could this Kong Bai fellow…
“Answer me.” Kong Bai’s gaze rested on one of them. “Who’s the most handsome man?”
“You. It’s you,” the trembling god answered.
Shua!
The entire world lapsed into silence. Even Kong Bai stopped talking. He didn’t attack either. Was that the correct answer? That god was overjoyed when he noticed this. Alas, before he could revel in his joy, a beam of light appeared and punched straight through him. Before his death, Kong Bai’s emotionless voice waffled into his ears.
“A lie.”
The other gods were all dumbstruck. What was this? Ignoring him would result in death. Answering him would still result in death, as he would assume it was a lie. What the hell? How were they supposed to answer this question, then?
Kong Bai’s gaze came to rest on yet another god. “Answer me. Who’s the most handsome man?”
That god gulped. “Me…” Since saying the most handsome man was Kong Bai wouldn’t work, he might as well try saying it was him.
Bang!
With a flash, he was reduced to ash.
Kong Bai’s cold and hoarse voice drifted past. “Are you not ashamed of saying that, with that face of yours?”
Once again, the entire world lapsed into silence. The remaining gods began to sweat profusely. This Kong Bai… was truly very scary.
Kong Bai seemed to have been overexposed to time, to the point that his consciousness was now hazy. From the look of his face, he seemed to have experienced many years, to the point that his strength had become this terrifying. At this time, Kong Bai’s gaze landed on another god.
“Answer me. Who’s the most handsome man?”
The questioned god felt a chill go up his spine. Was he going to die now? How should he answer this? Heavens, a question like this… This did not seem like a question with a proper answer, right? Who was that “most handsome man”? Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.
“He is…”
He was just about to yell the name out. Alas, before he could answer, he was reduced to ash by yet another flash.
Kong Bai’s cold voice resounded. “Hesitating to answer such a question? Ignorant.”
The remaining gods were all dumbfounded. An… another death? Heavens! What exactly did this guy want? Perhaps, he merely intended to slowly torture and kill everyone here? No, that did not seem to be the case. His consciousness seemed to have truly gone hazy.
Kong Bai’s gaze landed on the weakest god in this group. “Answer me. Who’s the most handsome man?”
“…”
That god paused slightly, then recalled the earlier god’s death. Immediately, he howled, “Kong Bai! Kong Bai is the most handsome man!”
This short sentence was yelled so loudly that even a deaf person could hear it. The nearby gods all felt their ears going deaf from the loud shout.
“…” Kong Bai regarded this god with his blank eyes. Just as everyone thought that this god was about to die as well, Kong Bai’s head nodded suddenly. An expression of approval appeared on his face. “Indeed. Kong Bai is the most handsome man. Hehe. Even if I have forgotten many things… I still remember that he is the most handsome man.”
This old Kong Bai seemed to be extremely satisfied. Thus, he nodded his head approvingly before turning around and leaving. The remaining gods were all sweating profusely. Their legs were limp from the fear. So they had survived? What they had just experienced was something… that could not be explained with words. At this time, some of them looked at the departing Kong Bai. His elderly figure was somewhat stooped. From his body, a familiar power could be felt. Right, it was precisely the power of that damnable mirror.
“What happened to him?”
“No idea.”
“Why did that mirror fuse with him?”
“…”
Nobody knew what had happened to Kong Bai. However, it was at this moment that these gods had a feeling, like the hunt this time wouldn’t progress as smoothly as they had expected. Something like this had happened to Kong Bai. What about the other targets? The gods wondered, were they still the hunters? Why did they feel like the roles had been reversed?
“Contact our lord. This Kong Bai is not someone we can handle.”
“Understood.”
…
At a different location, a group of gods was advancing cautiously. Suddenly, one of them stopped the others. “Halt.”
Why? The other gods looked at him questioningly.
“This place…” That god looked at the region before them, which was filled with swirling light. He paused momentarily before looking at the god beside him. “I seem to recall that your flesh is capable of unlimited regeneration, right?”
That god nodded. “Yeah. Why—”
Shua!
Instantly, his arm was severed from his body. This was followed by a miserable scream from him. Next, the other god tossed the cut arm into the region of swirling lights. At a speed visible to the naked eye, the arm instantly withered, began desiccating, and ultimately transformed into nothingness.
“Look. The flow of time here is a hundred times faster than normal. Entering might result in death,” that god said with a calm expression.
However, the god whose limb had been severed was currently extremely angry. “I don’t care. You are the scout. If you need something, say it and we will cooperate. Why did you cut my arm off?”
“Oh.” That god paused, then looking at them doubtfully. “Will you guys trust me if I say it out loud?”
“Of course. After all, you are a scout whose abilities specialize in detection,” the remaining gods answered doubtfully.
“Oh.” That god seemed to come to a sudden realization. “Sorry. I have never worked with other gods before. I only did that to increase my persuasiveness. Next time, I will take note of my actions.”
The now one-armed god stared at him, stupefied.
“Shh!” After taking a detour around that region, the scout suddenly told everyone to keep quiet. Distantly, the figure that they had been trailing had finally stopped moving. He seemed to be looking for something. He stood on the shore of a lake, his gaze stalled on the water below him. He was staring at the glittering water, seemingly hesitating about something. The gods behind him increased their vigilance. Suddenly, that figure stripped naked. He continued to intently stare at the water below him for a long time before suddenly proudly saying, “Indeed. It has grown larger.”
The gods behind him: “???”
